Chapter 137 Winning the Grand Prize

Chapter 137 Winning the Grand Prize

Chapter 137 Winning the Grand Prize
On Thursday, Jiang Ning got up early to go running.

The farm roads had three circles inside and three circles outside, and were originally named according to the four districts of east, west, south and north, such as Road No. 1 in the South District and Road No. 2 in the North District. However, the roads in all four districts were interconnected, so the workers arranged the roads to the Fifth Ring Road with the villa as the center.

There is also a Six Rings, but it is not inside the farm.

Although it was just a joke by a few workers who were bored.

But this kind of joke is more easily accepted.

After being called that for so long, no one mentioned the official name of the farm anymore.

They are all called by the number of rings, for example, South District No. 2 Road is the South Second Ring Road.

A run around the Second Ring Road is more than seven kilometers.

Jiang Ning was just jogging at a steady pace. He was full of energy and ran for three kilometers without even breathing hard.

It was not yet half past six and the sky was just getting light.

The sun hadn't come out yet and the farm road was quiet.

Many rabbits took advantage of the fact that the two-legged beasts were not yet awake and ran to the road to enjoy the scenery.

The grass in the forest is too thick, and even rabbits can’t stand hiding in the grass for too long!

It is a grassland rabbit, not a forest rabbit.

If it weren't for a bite to eat, who would be willing to hide in the grass all day long where they could only look up at the sky?

Seeing Jiang Ning running towards them from afar, the rabbits scattered.

They all went into the bushes.

After he ran over, I came out to watch.

It was too early and the workers hadn’t gotten up yet.

He is the first one to go to work at school, and Feng Yu hasn't even gotten up yet.

But when passing by the vegetable field, I saw several cars parked next to it.

When I looked over, I saw dozens of people picking vegetables in the greenhouse.

Father Jiang looked around with his hands behind his back and did not start working.

I was just surprised to see my son come in.

Not surprised.

My son is different from other children's. Most of his peers of the same age are too sleepy and can't wake up. They won't get up until the sun shines on their butts. They will never get up early if they can sleep in. The eldest son is an example.

Except for the days when I grow medicinal herbs, I don’t get up before eight o’clock.

The second child is different, except for occasionally staying up late or getting drunk.

I get up very early most of the time.

Jiang Ning went over and asked, "What time did you get up?"

Jiang Youxin said, "I got up at three o'clock."

Jiang Ning couldn't understand: "It's not like I don't have money to spend, why bother!"

Jiang Youxin said, "I'm used to it."

Jiang Ning didn't say anything else. The vegetable sellers all get up early. When the vegetable season comes, many vegetable farmers don't sleep at night. They pick the vegetables and take them to the wholesale market in the middle of the night to buy them, or contact vegetable dealers to come and buy the vegetables. It's not easy.

I went to the greenhouse next door and saw that my uncle and aunt were also selling vegetables.

The vegetable vendors all bring their people here directly to buy.

The vegetable vendors also find people to pick the vegetables, so they don’t do it themselves.

Of course, it is inevitable that prices will be suppressed.

There is a reason why vegetable vendors would rather find someone to pick the vegetables themselves.

Lowering the price is only one factor; the key is to feel assured that you pick the vegetables yourself.

Jiang Ning asked about the market conditions.

Zhang Yuedong said: "The vegetables grown on the farm are good. These vendors are not telling the truth. I went to the city to inquire a while ago. Now our vegetable market doesn't sell them anymore. They are all sent to the provincial capital. These vendors are making a fortune. They used to drive shabby trucks to transport vegetables, but now they have upgraded their weapons to big trucks, some even Prados."

Jiang Ning asked, "Didn't I raise the price for you?"

Zhang Yuedong said: "The vendors are not that kind. Not lowering the price is a good thing. We don't have channels, so we can only sell it cheaply. In fact, the vegetables we grow are good, and we won't have trouble selling them if the market opens up. It's just that we don't have channels. If we had channels, we would sell them ourselves."

Jiang Ning thought what his uncle said was nonsense.

Who wouldn’t sell it themselves if they had the channels?

Channels are king, and this is not said for nothing.

Of course he was just thinking about it in his mind, but he didn't dare to be disrespectful.

After chatting for a few words, he left the greenhouse and continued running.

I ran around the Second Ring Road and arrived at the cafeteria at exactly seven o'clock.

The workers have already started to eat breakfast and it is very lively.

Jiang Ning ate breakfast and packed some for the three women before returning to the villa.

When I returned to the villa, Feng Yu had already gotten up and washed up.

Xu Wenjing was washing her face, so Feng Xue didn't have to get up early to make breakfast.

It's a rare opportunity to sleep in, I haven't woken up yet.

Feng Yu didn't call her to get up and left some food for her.

After breakfast, I went to work.

Jiang Ning then went out and took Xu Wenjing to the office building.

When he got to the office, he called Kong Fangfei over and said, "This is Xu Wenjing, the cousin of Uncle Feng Yu. She's here to work for a few days while studying for the civil service exam. Can you find any job openings in the office and arrange for them?"

Kong Fangfei agreed and took Xu Wenjing away.

There are four people in the administrative office.

In addition to a personnel officer, there were two odd jobs, a man and a woman.

There are a lot of trivial things like sending and receiving documents and organizing files.

But two people are enough.

Kong Fangfei thought about it and asked Xu Wenjing to help with the human resources department.

Instruct the HR department to assign her some uncomplicated work.

By the way, tell her about the situation on the farm.

After Kong Fangfei finished her explanation, she went to find Jiang Ning and asked, "How do you pay the boss' salary?"

Jiang Ning said: "It will be the normal amount."

Kong Fangfei asked: "What about the three thousand five?"

Jiang Ning hummed.

Kong Fangfei asked: "What about social security?"

Jiang Ning was also having a headache. He didn't know how long Xu Wenjing would work here. If he only worked for a month or two, it would be troublesome to pay social security. After thinking for a while, he said, "Pay it. Please take care of him and don't let anyone bully him."

Kong Fangfei agreed and had an idea in mind.

Jiang Ning was not in the office and was about to go out.

Old Yang came over again: "Is Mr. Jiang okay?"

Jiang Ning said: "It's nothing serious. What's the matter with you?"

Lao Yang said, "It's just fine. After the New Year, some systems were re-established and positions were adjusted. I don't know how they are being implemented. I plan to go down and check. You come with me."

"This……"

Jiang Ning asked: "Is it necessary for me to go?"

Lao Yang said: "Of course it is necessary. If you don't take it seriously, how can the people below take it seriously?"

Jiang Ning was helpless: "Okay then!"

I had to postpone the visit and go down to check with Lao Yang.

I went to the security team first and took out various record books.

Wang Qiang is serious about his work and keeps records meticulously.

The usage of various tools and vehicles, maintenance and repair approval forms, and material requisition forms are all available.

The old man was very satisfied and praised Wang Qiang a few words.

Although these things are cumbersome, they will increase management costs.

But it is indeed useful and can largely avoid many problems caused by irregular management.

After checking the security team, I went to the warehouse.

The warehouse manager is Jiang Ning's uncle-in-law Deng Qiang. He is thin and weak and not very good at work. After the New Year, Lao Yang arranged him to be the warehouse manager. He does a very good job. He keeps the warehouse tidy and the materials are organized in a standardized manner.

Old Yang was very satisfied after seeing it.

There are no useless people in this world.

There are only managers who don’t know how to use people.

Having been a leader for most of his life, the old man naturally has a lot of experience in how to employ people.

Although the boss's uncle-in-law Deng Qiang likes to drink a few glasses of wine, he is still an honest person.

He is also very diligent.

Being small and weak, he is not good at physical work.

I don't have the talent for craftsmanship.

I've tried several jobs, but I couldn't do any of them well.

I arranged for him to come and look after the warehouse, and I didn't expect that he was doing a good job.

After praising him, he was about to leave.

When he was about to leave, he turned back and said, "Let me see the material requisition form."

Deng Qiang agreed and went back to get a bunch of material requisition forms.

Lao Yang took it and flipped through it, his face immediately turned bad: "Why didn't anyone sign these?"

Deng Qiang took a look and said, "Jiang Ning took it."

When Jiang Ning heard this, he hurried over to take a look.

The list for picking up fruits.

The warehouse is not only for storing materials and tools, but also for keeping fruits fresh. Last year, not all the fruits in the orchard were sold out. There were too many varieties planted, and several varieties of each were planted. For example, for apricots, there are Kuche small white apricots, Taijin Taihe red apricots.

Not all breeds are liked by everyone.

There are also many varieties of apples, pears, etc.

Apricots and peaches are okay, they are basically sold out.

But there are a lot of apples and pears left, and some varieties are not selling well.

They are all kept in a cold storage, and Jiang Ning occasionally gives them away.

He just came to get things and took them directly, but he didn't expect that he had to sign.

When old comrades set up rules, they will not be specifically asked to learn and abide by them.

When his signature is needed, the subordinates will go directly to him.

But my uncle never asked him to sign.

Jiang Ning felt something was not good...

really.

The old comrade got angry and said, "What are you talking about? The boss can take things without signing? What is the purpose of setting rules? Can the boss remember how many things he took? If he doesn't sign to confirm, you can also blame the boss if you take it away one day?"

Deng Qiang quickly denied it: "I definitely wouldn't do such a thing."

Lao Yang asked, "If you don't do it, no one else will either?"

"This……"

Deng Qiang was unable to answer the question.

The old man said bluntly: "The test is five hundred, so you will remember it."

Deng Qiang immediately protested: "My boss took it. How could I ask him to sign if he didn't tell me?"

The old man said with a dark face, "You bastard, you have no sense of rules. You can let it go even if the boss doesn't say anything? What does a warehouse manager do? I've told you so many times that no matter who gets something, they have to sign, and the boss is no exception. The boss doesn't know this, and you, as a warehouse manager, don't know to ask him to sign? Or did the boss refuse to sign after you told him?"

Deng Qiang was speechless and looked at Jiang Ning for help.

Jiang Ning looked helpless, he couldn't ruin his old comrade's plan!

If this stage is dismantled, how will the old comrades manage it in the future?

Who would be obedient?

Relatives are difficult to manage.

We can't try to smooth things over at this time.

Old Yang said with a threatening face, "Five hundred yuan is a small matter. You are the boss's elder, so you should set a good example for other relatives. The warehouse manager has a heavy responsibility. If you don't strictly abide by the rules and regulations, if the boss takes something without signing today, someone else will take something without signing tomorrow. Then the warehouse will be in a mess, just like last year, when so many things were lost and anyone could come to the warehouse to pick up materials at will. I'll teach you a lesson. From now on, no matter who takes something, they must sign, and the boss is no exception."

Deng Qiang muttered depressedly: "I know."

Lao Yang instructed Jiang Ning on the spot: "Check which orders are yours and sign them."

Jiang Ning was also very obedient and flipped through the material requisition form.

He has a pretty good memory and remembers everything he received several times.

Sign your name.

Then he went out with the old man and drove away.

After driving out of the warehouse compound, he said to the old man, "Thank you for your hard work."

The old man happily joined in the fun: "Serving the boss."

Jiang Ning laughed to death, this old man is so cute.

After a round of inspection, I found many problems.

The old man is merciless. He should be criticized and evaluated when necessary.

The rules were established little by little.

Finally, the two of them drove around in a circle, conducted an on-site inspection, and called the security team to release a drone to overlook the high school. Finally, they selected Forest Area No. 12 and set up a leisure activity area in it.

The relevant personnel were then referred for further study.

The trees don't need to be cut down, but the weeds need to be cleared.

Clear a few dozen acres of land and build some infrastructure.

After discussing for a long time, Jiang Ning said, "It has to be done before May 1st. Hurry up and do it."

A worker said: "Not so fast, it will take several days just to clear the grass."

Jiang Ning said, "Feng Yu is going to bring students here for activities on May Day, so we need to at least set up a smaller venue."

My uncle Chen Xuefeng laughed and joked: "It's true that the Queen Mother just opens her mouth and the ministers have to work so hard that their legs break."

Everybody laughed.

Jiang Ning: "..."

Is it appropriate for elders to make such jokes?

After arranging these things, the office's assessment report was sent to the group.

The cause and effect are explained clearly, and a 500 yuan assessment is made to serve as a warning to others.

When the workers saw it, they were all delighted.

It has always been human nature to laugh at other people.

While watching the jokes, I also reflected on whether there were any problems with my own work.

Lao Yang was ruthless and clearly distinguished between public and private affairs. When workers came to him for help with family problems, he never shirked his responsibility and would do his best to help wherever he could. However, he was never lenient in official matters and would scold them if they made mistakes and would never forgive them if they deserved punishment.

Trivial matters that don't matter will be laughed off.

But the tolerance for issues of principle is zero.

The workers really have a love-hate relationship with this old guy.

People call him Yang Laohei behind his back.

Had lunch.

Jiang Ning went to the warehouse again and took out two boxes of apples and two boxes of pears.

My uncle-in-law Deng Qiang is still a little unhappy.

After all, I was fined 500 yuan.

The key point is that it's embarrassing. The assessment report was sent to the group and everyone saw it.

The relatives laughed at me a lot.

Jiang Ning thought about it, drove out and called Jiang's father: "Dad, I'll arrange a table of food at the New City Hotel. You call your uncle, uncle and uncle, and we'll get together tonight."

Jiang Youxin asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Ning said, "My uncle-in-law made a mistake in his work. He was assessed 500 yuan by an old comrade this afternoon. He is a little unhappy. Let's get together for a drink in the evening. You can comfort him."

Jiang Youxin said hello.

Jiang Ning hung up the phone and called the hotel.

Then he called Feng Yu and notified everyone one by one.

After a forty-minute drive, we arrived at Xiabatan.

This is the northernmost part of Bei'an County. There are rocky beaches everywhere. It is also a key area for afforestation in the county. Trees are planted every year, but not many survive. This year, the 3,000-acre afforestation project was handed over to Xianling Farm.

Jiang Ning told Lao Yang about it and he has never come.

I have some free time today, so I came to express my condolences with four boxes of fruit.

Just check the situation.

When we arrived at the construction site, the workers had just finished lunch and started working.

Ten small excavators were digging holes for trees, and more than twenty workers, in groups of two, were planting trees and filling the holes behind them.

There were also two water trucks following behind to water the plants.

The stone beach is not as good as the Gobi beach. It is very difficult to dig holes manually, and machinery is required.

The living area is a group of tents and the conditions are very harsh.

Jiang Ning opened the trunk and asked Lao Li to take down the apples and pears and distribute them to the workers.

I checked everywhere and fed some growth hormone to the planted saplings.

After turning around, a gust of wind blew over, filling the sky with dust.

Jiang Ning was too tired to complain. The northwest wind in spring was really unbearable.

Although the government often does not do its job, its decisions are correct.

We should indeed vigorously promote afforestation.

This will not only benefit future generations, but also benefit the present.

What Jiang Ning hates most is the wind in spring, it is so disgusting.

Seeing my old classmate Li Jia and her wife Yang Qiuyan were there, I went over to chat with them.

He also took a shovel and helped dig more than a dozen tree pits.

Wait until he leaves.

Boss Li also came over with a shovel to help fill the tree pit. While backfilling, he said, "Li An, why are you still working when you have such an awesome classmate like Boss Jiang? Why don't you ask your classmate to do some work yourself?"

Li An said, "I'm sorry."

Boss Li was amused: "Boy, how much is your face worth? You are still embarrassed. When you reach my age, you will know that face is the least valuable thing. If you can't grab the opportunity right in front of you, you will have to work for me."

Yang Qiuyan leaned against the tree and said, "Even if Bing shamelessly asked for some work, we have no money to do it, and we still owe a lot of foreign debts!"

Boss Li said: "Everyone has some foreign debt these days. I still owe hundreds of thousands!"

We filled a few tree pits and chatted for a while.

Boss Li dropped his shovel and left.

Li An and Yang Qiuyan continued to work hard, one holding the tree and the other filling the hole, taking turns.

After catching up on the progress for a while, the two sat on a pile of earth to rest.

Then he ate the apple that Jiang Ning brought him.

While chewing an apple, Yang Qiuyan said, "Li An, what Lao Li said makes sense. These days, the brave die of overeating, while the timid die of starvation. You and Jiang Ning are classmates. Let's shamelessly go to him and ask for some work. Do you think he will give it to us?"

Li An shook his head: "How would I know? We haven't been in touch for so many years. I can't open my mouth."

Yang Qiuyan was annoyed: "You are a useless person, what can you do?"

Li Ang ate an apple and said nothing.

Yang Qiuyan quickly finished eating an apple, then took another bite. Suddenly, she was surprised: "Hey, the apples and pears sent by Boss Jiang are pretty good. Could this be the output of his farm orchard?"

Li An nodded: "That should be the case. I heard that the fruits from his farm and orchard are very good, and they were ordered by the company as soon as they came."

Yang Qiuyan suddenly had an idea: "How about we use the fruits from his farm to make fruit drinks?"

Li An was overwhelmed when he heard this: "You are still making trouble even though your business has already gone bankrupt."

Yang Qiuyan said: "Life is endless, struggle is endless, I don't want to work for others all my life, working for others, how long will it take to pay off the debt, I still have to be my own boss to make big money."

Li An didn't want to make any more trouble: "Pay off the debt first."

Yang Qiuyan glared at him and said, "Can you be more promising?"

Ang Lee remained silent.

Yang Qiuyan pounded her leg and said, "Anyway, I don't want to work any more. I work like an animal all day long. I have never enjoyed a single day of happiness following you. I have suffered so much. The animals nowadays have a more comfortable life than us."

Li An was still unconvinced: "All workers are not the same."

Yang Qiuyan said: "Then if you have the guts, don't let me work!"

Li An said nothing again.

Yang Qiuyan suggested: "Old Li must have made a lot of money planting trees for Boss Jiang this month. Let's go find Old Li and see if we can get him to be our partner. If we can convince him to be our partner, we'll have the capital."

Li An couldn't help but say, "Old Li is not stupid."

Yang Qiuyan glared at him angrily: "You are the only fool."

Li An curled his lips and continued to remain silent.

After resting for a while, I saw the excavator going away.

Get up quickly and plant trees.

I worked until the sun went down, and my back and waist ached and my legs cramped.

Yang Qiuyan sat on a pile of dirt, pounding her thigh and lamenting, "This is really not a life for human beings. I don't want to do this anymore. Li An, go borrow some money from your sister and let's open another store. I think I'll die of exhaustion here if we keep doing this."

Li An refused: "I haven't paid back all the money I borrowed before, how can I borrow again?"

Yang Qiuyan said: "It's not like we won't pay her back. We can pay her back when we have the money."

Li An still refused: "Return the money you borrowed first."

Yang Qiuyan was so angry that she scolded him a few words and went to the kitchen.

I got a basin of water, washed my face, and went to find Boss Li.

Discuss opening a store together.

Boss Li was delighted: "You want to open a shop with me?"

Yang Qiuyan said seriously: "Of course, I have opened a beverage store before, I have experience, I will definitely be able to do it."

Boss Li suppressed his laughter and asked, "How do you plan to form a partnership?"

Yang Qiuyan said: "If you invest 50,000 yuan, I will give you some shares."

Boss Li asked, "How many shares are you going to give me?"

Yang Qiuyan said: "20%?"

Boss Li continued to ask: "How much did you invest?"

Yang Qiuyan said without blinking: "I'll invest 20 yuan."

Boss Li was curious: "I heard that you two owed a lot of foreign debts because of running the store. Do you still have money to open a store?"

Yang Qiuyan said: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely find a way."

Boss Li couldn't help laughing, "You idiot, I've suffered more than you have. When I was struggling in society, you were still wearing open-crotch pants. Don't use these little tricks on me. Just work honestly!"

Yang Qiuyan was unwilling to give up and tried her best to persuade him, "Drinking is very profitable. As long as there is a stable supply and the cost is reduced, the business will be good. I have done it before and have experience. As long as you open a chain store, you can make a lot of money."

Lao Li nodded: "Then you do it first, and I will invest in you after you open the store."

Yang Qiuyan was a little angry. These old guys were so cunning.

It’s really difficult to trick people into investing!

……

New Town Hotel.

Jiang Ning sat in the box and looked at the report.

We were having lunch here this afternoon. It wasn't time yet, but he came here because he had nothing else to do.

Just happened to take a look at the financial statements of New Town Hotel.

I flipped through it a few times and was surprised: "Is the catering department's operating income so high?"

Liu Jinliang was waiting nearby and said, "Yes, it's the result of everyone's joint efforts."

Jiang Ning didn't ask any more questions and continued watching.

Since he adjusted his strategy last year, New Town Hotel has entered the fast lane, with operating performance continuing to improve, various expenses significantly reduced, and room occupancy rates steadily increasing. The most eye-catching department is still the catering department.

In previous years, the period after the beginning of spring was the hotel’s off-season.

Now the daily turnover remains at around 30,000.

When it comes to large banquet orders, the cost is often 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

Jiang Ning knew some situations. As the saying goes, there is always a brave man under a big reward. Under the convenient distribution system, the hotel employees are now very motivated. All of them try to attract customers and get orders, and some even try to grab orders.

This caused a lot of dissatisfaction among peers and competitors.

But the results are also very significant.

Revenue and profits are rising steadily.

Jiang Ning kept his word and did not take a single penny of the hotel's profit.

Excluding daily operating expenses and necessary development funds.

The remaining money was used to give bonuses to employees.

The salary of room attendants has increased to 3500, an increase of more than 50%.

The most exaggerated ones are in the catering department, with the lowest being 4000.

Jiang Ning deeply realized that if he wanted his employees to work hard, he still had to pay them.

A hotel is different from a farm. The wealth of a farm comes from the owner, and the value created by the workers is limited. However, the New Town Hotel is completely different from a farm. The owner cannot create value, and all the wealth comes from the employees.

If the employees give up, the company will be close to bankruptcy.

“Not bad.”

Jiang Ning praised them and said, "Keep working hard. Whether you can achieve a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan depends on you."

Liu Jinliang nodded: "Everyone is confident. The farm pays social security for the workers. The hotel employees talk about this every few days and ask if they can pay the social security. What do you think..."

Jiang Ning asked: "Is the hotel's financial situation sufficient to pay for the employees' social security?"

Liu Jinliang said: "The pressure is quite great, but I can do it if I grit my teeth and endure it."

Jiang Ning thought for a while and said, "Then let's hand it in."

Liu Jinliang relaxed all over and breathed a sigh of relief.

After sitting for a while, I saw nothing else.

Then he said goodbye and left.

Jiang Ning waited for a while and the waiter came in to add tea.

After filling the teacup, he asked, "Boss, do we have to pay social security, too?"

Jiang Ning hummed and asked, "Are you unwilling to hand it over?"

The waiter said: "Some people are unwilling to pay, but most want to pay. After all, paying social security will provide a guarantee when you are old. We in the catering department are willing to pay. Now everyone's salary has increased, so we can accept a deduction of a few hundred yuan."

Jiang Ning asked, "Can you still work in the hotel until retirement?"

The waiter said, "Why not? If we can keep getting the current salary, we can keep doing this. Except for those young people who are not married, most people will not leave unless the boss tells us not to do this anymore."

Jiang Ning said, "Then do your best. As long as the hotel doesn't close down, you can work as long as you want."

The waiter perked up: "Is it true?"

Jiang Ning hummed: "As long as there is no problem with the work, I will keep doing it."

The waiter left happily.

Jiang Ning was just about to go out and take a look when his cell phone rang again.

I looked at the number and it turned out to be Wang Yifan calling.

After thinking it over, he picked up the phone: "What can I do for you, Mr. Wang?"

Wang Yifan asked: "How are you thinking about it?"

Jiang Ning said: "I haven't considered it."

Wang Yifan said: "Brother, people need to know how to share."

Jiang Ning asked: "Are you worthy?"

Wang Yifan was not angry and said, "It was just an appetizer before."

Jiang Ning said: "Use whatever tricks you have. I'm waiting!"

Wang Yifan didn't say anything and hung up the phone.

Jiang Ning put away his phone and sat quietly for a while.

There were voices outside the door, and family members and relatives had arrived.

There were more than a dozen people, big and small, and the table for twenty people was not full.

Feng Yu came, but Feng Xue didn't want to come.

Xu Wenjing brought her food in the cafeteria.

There is no seating arrangement, just sit down wherever there is room.

The men sat on one side and the ladies on the other.

After sitting down, my aunt Zhang Yuzhen said, "Why do the waiters in the hotel feel different from before? They are much more enthusiastic than before. I got a little dirt on my trouser legs, and the girl at the door hit me twice."

Aunt Zhang Yufang said: "The service attitude is indeed much better than before."

Everyone nodded, not understanding what was going on.

Jiang Ning didn't explain and told the waiter to serve the food.

Two bottles of wine by the way.

The food hasn't arrived yet, but the wine has.

The leftover Moutai from the wedding is stored in the hotel!
We ordered another juice, and the ladies who wanted to drink had some.

If you don't want to drink alcohol, drink juice.

The wine was poured and the cold dishes were served.

Everything is prepared in advance and can be used as soon as people arrive.

I picked up a few pieces of food with my chopsticks.

Uncle Chen Xuefeng was the oldest. He looked around, poured a glass of wine and raised it to invite everyone to drink: "Come on, everyone pour your wine, and congratulate Comrade Deng Qiang for winning the 500 yuan prize this morning."

Uncle Deng Qiang looked embarrassed: "Brother-in-law just loves to bully people."

Chen Xuefeng smiled and said, "How can this be called bullying? Others who are being assessed don't get this kind of treatment. Only you get this kind of treatment. You get assessed in the morning, so Jiang Ning has to set up a table and treat you to Maotai in the afternoon."

Deng Qiang said dryly: "Let's not talk about such embarrassing things."

Chen Xuefeng said, "What's so embarrassing about this? It's not normal to be evaluated for not doing your job well. You shouldn't blame Old Yang. It was your fault in the first place. If I don't teach you a lesson, there will be no rules."

Deng Qiang said quickly: "I don't complain."

Chen Xuefeng nodded: "That's right, come on, let's have a drink together."

Everyone laughed and poured themselves wine.

Those who don’t drink can pour a drink and toast together.

The cousins ​​from my eldest aunt's family and the cousins ​​from my second aunt's family are all working hard outside. Zhang Yulong is stationed in a village in the countryside. The only younger generation are the brothers Jiang Ning and Jiang Hua. The men are discussing farm matters, while the women are discussing the next generation.

My cousin from my aunt's family is thirty years old this year and has gone to Xinjiang.

I don’t know what to do, anyway, I’m not married yet.

My cousin is 28 years old, the same age as Jiang Hua, and works as a nurse in a hospital in the south.

When I heard that she wasn’t planning on getting married, my aunt was often so worried that she couldn’t eat or drink.

My cousin from my aunt's family is one year older than Jiang Ning. She is working hard in a big city and I heard that she has no plans to get married.

My cousin is two years younger than Jiang Ning and one year younger than Zhang Yulong.

She has also reached the age of marriage.

My aunt is also worried.

Aunt Wang Xia was also worried about her son's determination to marry Yao Lili.

After worrying so much, Zhang Yulan finally became the object of envy.

Among all her brothers and sisters, she is the one living the most comfortable life now.

Both sons are married and all the tasks that need to be completed have been completed.

The key is that you have enough money, so you can just wait to enjoy it.

It was almost nine o'clock when we finished eating and drinking, and the six of us drank two bottles of Moutai.

Each person weighed about 30 or 40 taels, which was just the right amount.

After drinking some wine, my uncle-in-law Deng Qiang was obviously in a much better mood.

They kept clamoring to treat us to singing, so we went to the KTV downstairs to sing.

Happy didn't end until twelve o'clock.

Those who should go back to the farm should go back to the farm, and those who should go home should go home.

Two days later, it was the weekend again.

Early on Saturday morning, Feng Yu and Feng Xue first sent Xu Wenjing to the farm dormitory.

I helped make the bed, then packed up and went back to Jixiang Community.

Actually, I didn’t have much stuff, just a few pieces of clothing.

Don't bring anything else.

After tidying up the house, Feng Yu and Jiang Ning went downstairs to their uncle's house.

Zhang Yulong came back on the weekend, and the Yao family is going to visit the house today.

Jiang's father, mother, brother and sister-in-law also want to go.

When we arrived downstairs at Building No. 6, my parents, brother and sister-in-law were already waiting.

Jiang Youxin didn't drive, but took Jiang Hua's Envision.

Without getting out of the car, he just said hello in the car and drove out of the community.

When we arrived at my uncle's house, there were quite a few people in the room.

My aunt and uncle arrived early, and Zhang Yulong's uncle Wang Peng and his family also came.

After greeting everyone, they sat down around the sofa.

The elders sit on the sofa, and the younger ones sit on small stools if there is not enough space.

After a few words, my aunt and uncle also came.

Invite him to come in and sit down, and eat melon seeds around the coffee table.

By the way, they exchanged what they had learned about the Yao family.

In fact, it is useless to say anything. No matter how many problems the Yao family has, as long as Zhang Longyu is determined to marry Yao Lili, Zhang Yuedong will have to become a relative. Zhang Yulong sat on the side listening and also talked about what he learned from Yao Lili.

But they were all good things about the Yao family.

The more Zhang Yuedong listened, the angrier he became, and he cursed him.

Zhang Yulong went to the bedroom angrily and never came out.

Jiang Ning was very surprised. He used to think his cousin was very obedient.

I didn't expect he had such a bad temper.

But this temper seems to be wrong.

After sitting for a while, I went to the bedroom to take a look.

Zhang Yulong was lying on the bed, holding a cell phone and apparently chatting with someone.

Seeing him come in, she turned over and sat up.

Jiang Ning went over and lay on the bed, saying, "You have a bad temper!"

Zhang Yulong looked depressed: "My father is unreasonable."

Jiang Ning said, "Bullshit, uncle is doing this for your own good, why are you being unreasonable?"

Zhang Yulong said, "I got married to live with Yao Lili, not with her parents. What does her parents' problems have to do with her? My dad worries about this and that. I think he just despises her."

Jiang Ning was both amused and confused: "How old are you this year?"

Zhang Yulong said, "Twenty-four."

Jiang Ning said: "How can you still be so stupid at the age of 24?"

Zhang Yulong was not convinced: "Why am I stupid?"

Jiang Ning said, "Let me give you an example. When you and Yao Lili get married, and one day you two have a conflict or a quarrel, and her mother comes and scolds you, do you think you can still live like this?"

Zhang Yulong said: "That depends on the situation. If it's my fault, she can scold me if she wants."

Jiang Ning: "..."

This kid is really hopeless!

How can you be so naive?

Jiang Ning was thinking, his knowledge was too shallow.

There's no point in saying anything.

If you don't eat poop once, you'll never know what it tastes like.

If you have not experienced the hardships of life, you will not understand the difficulties of life.

This kid is really well protected by his grandparents.

The flowers in the greenhouse have no idea how fierce the wind outside is.

Jiang Ning felt that if this kid didn't suffer a little more, he might not grow up.

Just as I was thinking about it, the door was pushed open a crack.

Feng Yu peeked through the crack in the door, then pushed it open and walked in.

He greeted Zhang Yulong first, then saw Jiang Ning lying on the bed and said, "Why are you lying here? Why don't you go out and talk to your uncle and aunt?"

Jiang Ning said: "There's nothing much to say. I'll chat with Zhang Yulong for a while."

As he said this, he moved forward and let Feng Yu sit on the edge of the bed.

Feng Yu sat down and asked Zhang Yulong: "Have you asked Yao Lili what she did in the south before?"

Zhang Yulong said: "I work in an electronics factory."

Feng Yu asked again: "Do you know what kind of person she is?"

Zhang Yulong was stunned and was unable to answer.
